Bubble glass chandelier

Poliarte · Marked

Italy, Circa 1970

A vintage Poliarte chandelier in bubble glass and chrome-plated metal, produced in Italy circa 1970 and bearing its original label. Founded in Verona by glass artist Albano Poli, Poliarte became renowned for its thick-glass fixtures—veritable sculptures of light. Cylindrical elements in clear glass, arranged in a staggered pattern across several tiers around a chrome-plated metal structure, form a sculptural and geometric volume. Its regularity is subtly enlivened by air bubbles captured within the glass, catching the light like tiny pearls. The layering of the elements multiplies transparencies and reflections, while the thick contours of the glass lend rhythm to the overall silhouette. When illuminated, the chandelier takes on a soft, ever-shifting shimmer. This modular composition exemplifies the explorations of 1970s Italian lighting design, where the light fixture becomes a sculpture in its own right. With its balanced proportions, it will effortlessly find its place in an entrance hall, a bedroom, a study, or above a dining table.
